The ckos Network has in-person events in London & online courses to help ppl with smell disorders. Recovery can be so slow & many people are still in great need of support. For them, the promise of future research is not enough. Empathy. Peer support. Trusted information.

Our paper on olfactory training, which discusses how a decreased quality of life drives use of the practice, has just been published: link.springer.com/article/10.100… With thanks to Li Zetian, Thomas Hummel, and Bob Pellegrino

Empathetic peer support provides great comfort in the ckos Network. While we wait for new treatments, this valuable resource can help to make daily life bearable.

I'm reading Monty Lyman's The Immune Mind and loving it. It puts so many things into place. Inflammation, gut dysbiosis, depression, & low immunity are all things that I and my large community of long-term smell loss sufferers can relate to. Thank you for this wonderful book!

New courses for people who have lost their sense of smell coming this autumn. All courses are held within the ckos Network. To learn more 👉 chrissikelly.com #anosmia #parosmia #smellloss #lossofsmell
